WBEZ Presents: An Evening with Billy Dee Williams

On May 22, 2024 legendary actor Billy Dee Williams joined WBEZ for a conversation about his new memoir What Have We Here?, which recounts his journey from Harlem to a galaxy far, far away - and beyond.
Best known for his role as the Star Wars universe’s first Black character (Lando Calrissian), as well as his roles in films like Brian’s Song and Lady Sings the Blues, Williams went on to become the suave spokesperson for Colt 45 malt liquor and portrayed Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s Batman. Celebrate Black History Month as Williams looks back on an acting career that broke racial barriers.
WBEZ was proud to partner with Exile in Bookville for this event.
